I have to confess, every moment of every day when my thoughts are left to themselves, I am mulling and contemplating the idea of WHEN to up the dose to adding the next thyroid pill (three a day). Some sites I've read say to go up by adding 1 pill every 2 weeks, but then other sites say something about the half life being something like 4-5 days I think - so why can't I go to the next level now that I've achieved more than 5 days of this 2-pill dose?
Will it really be so bad if I take another and it turns out three pills are a bit too much? So what if I get shaky, overheated, -- what's the big dealy-O? I would just cut back down to 2 pills, no harm done, right? That's all a doctor would do anyway - it's purely experimental based on how you feel, and your temperature -- which is still not all the way up to normal -- but if I was doing this with a doctor's supervision and I noticed I was getting a bit too much hormone, I'd have to make an appointment to see him before I could have him assess what I already know, to cut back.
I'm so champing at the bit to go to the next pill. I want that energy I used to have, and the reality is I still have the space heater going all day -- the morning bathroom routine aside -- I haven't seen 100% improvement yet...
